Oral contrast is only important if they look for abnormality of the hollow organs in the abdomen such as stomach, intestine or colon. Generally, CT of the abdomen and pelvis with both oral and IV contrast is preferred by radiologist than IV contrast alone for reading the images. However, sometimes because of the urgency of the test, oral contrast cannot be done.
